That's utterly amazing and simply should not happen in any vehicle. Have you spoken with anyone from Isuzu?

Not yet, made complaints to both Canadian and US Dept. of Trans. Need to file a formal complaint with Isuzu tomorrow. I know, I'm very worried for others on the road with these vehicles. We had the exact problem that they are investigation, so hopefully we won't be simply out thousands of dollars, and they will warn others of this danger! I can't imagine what could have happened had we been on the highway!

lboyd,
Read the messages on the Rodeo board and Axiom board. Immaculate and pampered cars rusting underneath.
Isuzu doesn't give a dam and they are prepared to do nothing until the government forces them. As for Canada, I haven't seen anything happening in your government, so you are probably SOL.
I posted a lengthy "What to do" on the Axiom (rusted frame thread) board and it's how I was able to get my car totaled and money from my insurance company.

I have tried to go the to media, we have a trouble shooter on one of our local TV stations as we have several stations in Louisville, but she didn't want to bother with it. I have tried several times.

Your situation is similar to so many, except you have the proof of the undercoating which I know I do not have. If you follow the earlier posts, I have the letter received from Derek Rinehardt who is a federal investigator into this Passport/Rodeo situation. Please read the letter, answer the questions and send your responses along with photos to him. If there was a police report, send that too. I am thankful your family was not hurt. My incident was very similar, on a long empty driveway to a warehouse and "boom" that was the end of my Passport. I usually drive 55 mph home and to work, and if I hadn't been running an errand at lunchtime, this would have happened on a busy curvy road. My husband and I had gone to Gatlinburg TN the weekend before, up and down mountains, 70+ on the interstate for 4 hours driving back and forth, so I was very fortunate this occurred when it did. Keep up updated. M

Well, I just wrote a letter to the media as well, you can't get the attention until you try..... Hopefully someone out there will listen. Thanks for all your advise.

What exactly rusts, the frame, the control arm, the bracket that connects the control arm to the frame, the bolts that hold the control arm to the bracket, the bolts that hold the bracket to the frame or(?)? We have looked at my sons 2001 LS with 100k miles and do not see any rust. I am not sure I am looking at the right location.
